The New Yorker

I got hook by your nice contents. Sadly your app it’s not working. Can you fix please.

New Yorker Mag, please implement dark mode. Its omission detracts from what’s otherwise a good app.

Hello New Yorker mag! We, your subscribers, need a dark mode on the app.

I subscribe to 3 other magazine apps and so far The New Yorker is my favorite.

I hope your remove the advertisements especially for the paid subscribers. I think you owe it to your paid customers. The ads are very distracting when reading.

I paid for a full year’s subscription thru iTunes & paypal but the app wont let me read past my “free articles” for the month. I emailed customer service so many times and they come back with they couldnt find my account number, name and address in their records. I send an email saying it’s a digital subscription and I dont hear from them anymore. I paid $89.99 and I cant even read the articles. I do not recommend this app at all. Their customer service is no help.

The last time I subscribed to the New Yorker was about six years ago. As with public library borrows, you could download issues of the magazine as PDFs to be opened in the reader of your choice. Additionally, you could keep your progress within a particularly long article within the app. Fast-forward to the new and improved version of the app. Downloaded magazines seem only accessible within the app, which destroys the effect of the magazine layout. Worse still, the app refreshes even if you haven’t closed it and are only checking another app for a moment. This means you not only lose your place in the story; you’re also pulled back to the landing content of the app, which might never have interested you in the first place. Additionally, you cannot bookmark your progress in an article or a downloaded magazine; you can only bookmark an individual article without progress. You can’t even highlight a passage to give you a clue where you left off, which is why I spend more time searching for my place in Aviv’s long piece on Alice Munro than I do reading the article itself. I only just subscribed a week ago and am thinking of cancelling my subscription.

I really liked to listen to New Yorker articles on the go, but I am not going to listen to a robot voice. Really disappointing. At least provide the option to filter.

The digital subscription is not worth purchasing. The content of the magazine is excellent. Articles are interesting and well written, but if you have difficulty with your sight when using reading devices this is the worst app I’ve encountered. There is no native feature for sizing text, it says to use the device text size setting, but they don’t work. There is no dark mode that could help. There is no zoom, nothing to aid in ease of reading, which as a dedicated reading app it’s ridiculous!! It’s a shame that this app is so inaccessible to sight challenged individuals.

Fantastic app. I love that it remembers where I left off in an article so I can put it down and come back to it later. One wish: that you could build a “playlist” of audio articles so that once you finish one it would auto-play the next in your queue
